This past Saturday we were able to enjoy Dollywood's Christmas Festival. This is the third year in a row that we have taken the kids to see Babes in Toyland, which Mackenzie just loves. We all four enjoyed the rides, and while David and Josiah rode the scrambler together, Mackenzie and I tried some rides that are new to her. I was so proud of her bravery! She tried, and loved, the swings, sky rider, and shooting star. Josiah enjoyed the Veggies Tales roller coaster with her, and the Bumble Bees and Scrambler, too. A fun time had by all!
Above is a picture of Mackenzie in front of a Christmas tree with pink lights. I think I read that Dollywood has over 4 million lights this Christmas!!! It was beautiful.
I could not get Josiah to pose for the camera, so I snapped this candid of him studying the Dollywood map. He LOVES the map. We always stop and pick up a map for each child on our way in the park. It's a highlight of the trip. ;)
Here's David and Mackenzie getting off of the Shooting Star (or Falling Star?) that goes up in the air and drops you, kinda like a free fall. This was Mackenzie's very first time on that ride. She loved it.
Later that evening, Mackenzie and I rode the Shooting Star ride together. What fun that she's tall enough to enjoy some bigger rides now! :)
Today was Josiah's Thanksgiving Feast at school (MDO). I was thankful to be able to join his class for their celebration at Noon today. Here's Josiah at his table with Kameron across from him, Brooke beside Josiah, and Brady across from Brooke.
Josiah was so proud of his "J" pretzel! We had fun together today, and I enjoyed seeing Josiah interacting with his friends.

We are headed to Dollywood this weekend. Would Josiah ride the Shooting Star? He is big enough as Madison is and loves that ride! We love going at Christmas time b/c you can ride the roller coasters once it gets dark and that makes them even more fun! Glad y'all had fun.
Just seeing Josiah in his school setting makes him seem older to me! Looks like he had a lot of fun. :)
